Is it normal to only have two days of menstruation each cycle?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical history and consultation purpose: I have had two induced abortions in the past. Now my menstrual cycle is very regular, but each period lasts only two days. Is this normal? Can I get pregnant in the future? If it's not normal, what kind of tests should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, a normal menstrual cycle is usually 3-7 days. Your condition is likely caused by menstrual irregularity. Menstrual irregularity is regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian-gonadal axis. Factors such as mental stress, emotional fluctuations, changes in the environment, pregnancy, age, illness, medication, and nutritional status can all lead to dysfunction of this axis, resulting in menstrual irregularity. You can take remedies like deer placenta ointment, black-bone chicken pills, and motherwort to regulate your menstrual cycle. At the same time, it's important to maintain a light diet and avoid raw, cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
